Structural Studies of NaPO3–AlF3 Glasses by High-Resolution Double-Resonance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

2018 
The local structure of the model glasses (NaPO3)1-x-(AlF3)x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4), prepared by standard melt-cooling, was extensively investigated by high-resolution solid state NMR including advanced double resonance techniques. 27Al MAS-NMR data indicate that aluminum is predominantly six-coordinated. According to 27Al{31P} and 27Al{19F} rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) spectroscopic results, two to three Al-F and three to four Al-O-P linkages occur in these glasses, independent of composition x. 19F MAS-NMR spectra show the presence of terminal P-bound and Al-bound fluorine species. A small amount of fluorine bridging to two aluminum octahedra, which could be assigned based on 19F{27Al} and 19F{31P} REDOR experiments, was also detected. 19F{23Na} REDOR experiments indicate that the Al-bound terminal F atoms interact significantly more strongly with sodium ions than the P-bonded terminal F atoms, which is consistent with local charge considerations. Based on the detailed quantitative dipole-dipole coupl...
